Understanding Universal Set Symbols

The Venn diagram shows a universal set ξξ and three sets A, B, and C. It provides the following information: (i) The number of elements in the intersection of sets A and B is 13. (ii) The number of elements in the complement of set A is 15. (iii) The number of elements in the intersection of sets B and C complement is 9. (iv) The number of elements in the union of the complements of sets A and B is 22.

Means

𝐴𝐴 = {7 + 6} = 13 elements

write 6 again
because you write it in set 𝐴𝐴.
